My father was a career military man and my husband served honorably which who now works for KBR. If KBR is responsible then let them answer for it but I.m tired of politicians blaming companies after the fact I'm sure KBR had more than one warning why didn't someone follow up on it then! <strong>Ms Sparky's Response:</strong> I couldn't agree with you more. The only difference I can see is that Secretary of Defense Gates has a new boss. And I know that KBR is not the only contractor that is under investigation. But as far as I know they are the only ones being accused of killing soldiers. Our soldiers should get the best of the best from day one!!

To The Honorable Robert M. Gates,
Secretary of Defense

It is time to honor the commitment made by those who followed orders without reservation and made the ultimate sacrifice before their memory fades into a forgotten chapter of history.

If you value their commitment more than the government contracts with these organizations and realize this country needs future generations to fill the ranks as we prepare for the future, your conscience should be clear.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
I commit to Not allowing my grandson to join the military until the DoD commits to taking care of him and protecting him from their contractors.
